Acer cuts down the price for Chromebox to $180 per piece
Acer Chromebox CXI is now available for purchase in the US. It comes on the market with quite nice specifications, which will be absolutely enough for easy studying and efficient work.
Portable Chromebox is an absolutely new event in the world of technologies, though it has already taken off, especially it has made its point to the people, who doesn't want to have the main control panel from the huge and powerful space battleship Alienware Area 51 or any other high-performance PC.
You can find here a mediocre gear inside comparing to Windows devices, but it is absolutely sufficient for Chrome OS. Chromebox is equipped with a Dual Core Haswell processor 1,4Hz Intel Celeron 2957U, 2GB or 4GB of RAM at your choice and inner 16GB SSD memory for both options. At the periphery there are an SD card slot, four USB 3.0 slots, HDMI, Display and Gigabit Ethernet ports and Audio output. WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 are dislocated inside.
This is a perfect machine for simple tasks, as web surfing, social networks activity, studying, work and gaming, though forget about the games with high requirements, as they will be unachievable for this PC. Price formation is adequate to its declared specs and performance, so for 2GB option makers will ask $180 and $220 for 4GB one. Drawing your attention to the rate of the new technologies development, we can presume that the $40 difference is imperceptible comparing to the 2GB of disadvantage having aboard the budget PC.
